{"product_id":"blackstar-stj506l6-212","title":"Blackstar St. James 50 6L6 212 Guitar Amplifier (Black)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Blackstar St. James 50 6L6 212 is a 50-watt, two-channel 2x12 tube combo that weighs 16.8 kg (37 lbs), made for guitarists who play on stage, record at home and sometimes need to practice in silence. Two Celestion G12Z-70 Zephyr lightweight speakers in a candlenut plywood cabinet keep the weight down. Its 6L6 power tubes and cascaded overdrive channel suit heavier rock and high-gain tones, and an internal reactive load with Blackstar's Cab Rig speaker simulation sends a miked-cabinet sound to the XLR, headphone and USB outputs, with or without a speaker connected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo Channels\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChannel I takes its cue from mid-'60s American amps. It is very clean and bright, with a solid low end and controlled mids, and its tight, linear power stage makes it a good base for pedals. Channel II on the 6L6 models combines Blackstar's cascaded tube overdrive circuits with a British-style passive tone stack for rock tones. With Voice off, the power amp stays tight and fairly linear. Switching Voice on adds more saturation and sets the power amp to open loop, for the looser feel and heavy low end of a modern high-gain amp. The Bass, Middle and Treble knobs use dual-gang pots, so each channel gets its own EQ circuit tuned for its voicing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePower Settings, Silent Recording and Cab Rig\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA three-way switch runs the output stage at the full 50 W for stage use, at 2 W for practice, recording and small gigs, or in Sag mode, which adds power supply sag for a softer, more vintage response on hard attacks. Setting the Standby switch to 0 disconnects the speaker outputs and loads the power tubes with the internal reactive load, so the whole amp stays in the signal path while you record or play through headphones in silence. Cab Rig is Blackstar's DSP speaker, microphone and room simulator. A rear switch recalls three stored settings, and Blackstar's Architect software opens 23 cabinets plus a DI setting, six microphone models, room types and EQ for deeper editing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e50 W tube amplifier with 2 x ECC83 and 2 x 6L6 tubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo footswitchable channels, with a footswitchable Voice on Channel II\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBass, Middle and Treble with a separate EQ circuit for each channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDigital reverb with level control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e50 W, 2 W and Sag power settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaster volume for all outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInternal reactive load for silent recording and practice with the Standby switch at 0\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCab Rig DSP speaker simulation on the XLR D.I., stereo line out \/ headphone and USB outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUSB audio output that needs no drivers, also used to edit Cab Rig in Blackstar's Architect software\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEffects loop with a +4 dBu \/ -10 dBV level switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUniversal power supply, 100 to 240 V, 50\/60 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 x 12-inch Celestion G12Z-70 Zephyr lightweight speakers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpeaker outputs for adding one 16-ohm extension cabinet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIlluminated Blackstar logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFS-20 2-way footswitch included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 W RMS, switchable to 2 W, with Sag mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTubes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 x ECC83, 2 x 6L6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChannels:\u003c\/strong\u003e Channel I, Channel II with Voice\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeakers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 x 12\" Celestion G12Z-70 Zephyr, 8 ohms each\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront panel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Input, Volume I, CH.
